AMD Ryzen AI Halo moves to Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 with up to 192GB of memory

On October 12, 2026, AMD introduced the next Ryzen AI Halo Developer Platform, a compact desktop system built on the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor. AMD's blog lists up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, 40 RDNA 3.5 GPU compute units, an NPU of up to 55 TOPS and up to 192GB of LPDDR5x unified memory. Up to 160GB of that memory can be allocated to the GPU as VRAM. AMD's product page spec table adds Radeon 8065S integrated graphics, 32 threads, a 3.1 GHz base clock, up to 5.2 GHz boost, a 120W default TDP and up to 61 FP16 TFLOPS. The same page lists the earlier Ryzen AI Halo with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 at 128GB and up to 200B parameter models. AMD says the new box can support 300-billion-parameter and larger language models at 4-bit quantization. That is a capacity claim, not a speed figure. AMD says the box can be ordered now from Micro Center. Windows-based units with Windows Project Zenith are "coming soon". Neither the blog nor the product page gives a price or a memory bandwidth number. The blog only describes "a single high-bandwidth memory pool". The ROCm Core SDK 10.1.0 release notes, dated October 5, 2026, list the Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series (495, 490 and 485) as gfx1151 "Gorgon Halo" on RDNA 3.5. The Ryzen AI Max 300 series, which includes the Max+ 395, is listed under the same gfx1151 target as "Strix Halo". The same notes list vLLM 0.29.0 as supported on gfx1151, on Linux.
